One object of the invention is to provide a novel combinationof, a shoe and a stocking, particularly a golf stocking for general use, wherein the leg portion of the stocking I 5 and the foot portion thereof are separate from each other and are adapted-to be separably connected together and to a shoe, so as to produce the simulation of or effect produced about the shoe by gaiters or spats,

and so that standard stocking feet may be worn interchangeably with various stocking legs.

Other objects are to provide a combination shoe and stocking whereby pebbles, dirt and the like are prevented from entering the top of the shoe; to provide novel and improved means for separably connecting the stocking foot and stockingleg to a shoe, and to obtain other advantages and results as will be 90 brought out by the following description.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, in which corresponding and like parts are designated throughout the several views by the same reference characters,

forming stocking; t

Figure 2 is an enlarged transverse vertlcal sectional view through my combination shoe and stocking; Z

Figure 8 is a rear elevation thereof. Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view, taken on the line 44 of Figure 3, and

a part of my combination shoe and Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 55 of Figure 1.

Specificallydescribing the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the reference character A des1gnates a low shoe of known type which has a substantially U-shaped strip 1 I stocking leg is fitted between the tab .3 ended the body of the strip 1. The socket members -7 are then fitted over the respective studs,

41) of leather or the like secured at its lower edge by lines of stitching 2 around the upper portion of the shoe, the forward end or'm1ddle portion of said strip terminating at ap- I proximately the bottom of the laced ROItlOIl' 45 of the shoe while the ends of the str p are arranged to overlap each other, as shown in Figure 3 of the drawing. The upper edges of the strip 1 are therefore susceptible of being flexed outwardly from the shoe as'shown I 59' in Figure 2, but the lower edge of said strip ing footto prevent 'stretchingthereof The lower edge of the "stocking leg 10" is ada t- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe is permanently fixed to the shoe by the stitching A tab 3 is secured to the middle portion of the strip 1 "on the under side thereof. g I

.At'spaced points around the upperpor 56 'tions of the strip 1 and corresponding portionsof the shoe, are provided a plurality of Y separable fasteners B, each including a head 7 1 or stud portion 5 which is secured to the shoe in the usual manner, as indicated at 6,'and 60 a resilient socket member 7 which is secured in the upper edge of the strip 1. One ofthe studs 5' is also secured in'the upper edge of the tab 3.

The stocking foot Sis of theusual construction exceptthatla strip Qof'fabricis secured to the heel so as to be folded outwardly and downwardly over the top edge of the shoe. Also, preferably" a stripof'braid or the like is secured to the edge of the stock-' edto overlie the uppere'dge of'the shoe; Said edge of the stocking leg-isjalso preferably; provided with a binding of braid or the like i to prevent stretching. The studs5' are of sufficient length-to accommodate both thicknesses of the stocking foot and the stocking leg, and also admit of the socket members 7 being applied to the studs. 1

In use,'the;stocking footis first applied to the foot of the wearer, the stocking? leg having been first applied, or put on after the stocking foot. The shoe is then put on;

The outer end of the strip 9 is turnedoutwardly and downwardly andattached to the studs 5 at the rear of the-shoe, after which the lower edge of the stocking leg is slipped over the said studs 5. At the front, the

and the other end carries the two socket menu-' produced is similar to that bers which serve to fasten the edges of the stocking foot and stocking leg as well as the end of the first strip. With the lower edge of the stocking leg overlying the top of the shoe and secured under the strips 1, the effect obtained with a gaiter or spat, and furthermore, the stocking prevents the entry of pebbles or dirt into the "shoe. "It is also possible'to'utilize standard stocking feet with differentsto'ck ing legs, as may be desired.

- Small spaces 11 are preferably left in the stitching 2 to provide openingsfor draining water,'etc. from between the strip 1 and the shoe.

. 'It willbe understood that the invention n iayalso' be applied to highshoes, with the .strip'lsecured in the same position'as on the low shoe. in this case the regular full-length socks wouldsbe worn in place of stocking feet, and no part of the'soc ks would be ,fas-

" ten'ed beneaththe edge of the stocking.

Itis also possible to'utiliae the shoe in con- Qnectionwith trousers, in which case the lower =-1n size ancl fi'tted over the studs '5 a's'isthe lower edge of the stocking.

v '7 hould further be understoodithat while peripherally thereof and having socket fastenerelementsattheir upper edges to cooperate with said head elements, a stocking -foothaving ap'ortion to be attached to cer-' tain of said head elements, and a leg part.

having the lower edge formed to overlie the topsedge of the shoeto be-attached to said head elements.
